[GNC] Windows 11 security blocker

[Adrien Monteleone]

Excellent detailed instructions.

I'll add that in addition to or instead of, the www.gnucash.org URL, you 
might need to specifically whitelist the SourceForge URL as that is 
where the download is coming from. (and/or the github URL)

Regards,
Adrien
